They stay at the Come On Inn recommended by Sam's mother. It was possibly the site of a murder. There is a Hobo named Hollywood living right outside of their window and both Carly and Freddie agree that the hotel is disgusting. After visiting Dingo Studios, using fake IDs courtesy of Freddie, Carly and Sam learn the Totally Teri writersare plagiarizing iCarly skits for their own use, and they claim they have rights to do so, since they have money and power. Meanwhile, Spencer and Freddie find Charles Dingo's (the founder of Dingo Studios) head and hatch a plan with Sam and Carly to get the writers to stop copying them since they have access to the head.

The next day, the iCarly group threatens to release high resolution pictures of the Dingo Leader's head on iCarly.com unless the writers swear never to steal the show's ideas again. Afterwards, two of the writers end up on iCarly in a skit called "Bikini Dog Food Fight".

Trivia

The rip-offs that Totally Teri did from iCarly were never actually seen, only heard.

The fake soda machine that Spencer built in order to be "Messin' with Lewbert" says Wahoo Punch. The design for the Wahoo Punch drink is a parody of the Hawaiian Punch drink, and the Chocolate-milk drink franchise Yoo-hoo.

Freddie states that Dingo Studios is in Hollywood, to which Carly replies, "Which is, like, 900 miles from here." In actuality, a non-stop trip, in a car, from Seattle, Washington to Hollywood, [Los Angeles] California is approximately 1,130 miles, and would take 17 hours and 30 minutes.

This is the first time the gang (without Gibby) takes a road trip to Hollywood. The second time (with Gibby) is in iParty with Victorious.

In one shot, where the Hollywood sign should be, the sign reads "Los Angeles." This is because Dan states that he has to pay the city of Los Angeles to use an image of the Hollywood sign. It becomes "Hollywood" again, however, in iParty With Victorious.

Charles Dingo, The Dingo Studio, and the Dingo Channel are all parodies of Walt Disney, The Walt Disney Studios, and Disney Channel, respectively. This is a jab at Disney, a bitter rival of Nick's.

The side plot about Spencer and Freddie going to find the frozen head in Dingo Studios is based on the actual myth that Walt Disney is frozen under a ride in Disneyland in the same fashion for the same reasons.

According to Dan's Fun Facts, Sam's buttersock was originally a sock full of quarters, but he was asked to change it, because it was deemed too violent. This stands in contrast to Nickelodeon approving of a plot where Spencer flings watermelons at people, though none of those watermelons hit anyone, and hitting people was the sole purpose of the butter sock.

Technically, Dingo Studios could be sued regardless, and the iCarly characters would probably win the case because the iCarly characters' evidence of plagiarism makes arguments by the opposing side null and void.

Goofs

If the freezer in the basement of Dingo Studios really was "cryogenic", then Spencer and Freddie would have to wear protective clothing just to enter it. When the door is opened clouds of vapour are seen and are clearly produced by dry ice (solid carbon dioxide), as Freddie and Spencer walk through them unharmed. A cryogenic freezer uses liquid nitrogen at a much colder temperature and this would result in Freddie and Spencer receiving severe burns just from walking through the clouds of vapour.

Spencer should have worn gloves to handle the frozen head of Charles Dingo; it was in a freezer for years. (Possibly Spencer probably waited for the container to thaw so he could hold it without gloves).

Usually shots taken through Freddie's camera, either when recording or webcast live, are identified with a rectangular viewfinder frame with right angles in each corner, a "Rec" indicator at top left and a battery level indicator at top right. However, when the Totally Terri writers are recorded swearing they will never steal ideas from iCarly ever again, the rectangular frame is missing.

It doesn't make much sense for the iCarly crew to bring two of the Totally Teri writers all the way back from Hollywood to the iCarly studio in Seattle just to film them for the bikini dog-food fight - that could easily have been recorded in Hollywood and shown on the next iCarly webcast.

Plagiarism is an extremely serious crime (much harder on the Totally Teri's part since they have multiple counts of plagiarism since they copied more than one webcast from iCarly), so the Dingo writers' "money, lawyers, and power" would not have helped them win the case; they could only use it to get out of prison. Possibly, the writers used the "iCarlys'" legal knowledge shortage, and lied to deter Carly, Sam, and Freddie from suing them.
